Farewell From Costa Rica!!

Dearest Friends and Family,

The trek has been long and it has been hard but in the end the Lord has brought me through....was there ever any doubt? My time in Costa Rica comes to an end on Saturday as I fly to the Dominican Republic. From what I can tell thus far the Lord has used my time here to draw me closer to Him and to show me more of who I am--the good, the bad, the ugly :) But I have come to not mind because I know that as He is refining me and taking out the bad He is making a way to draw me closer to Him. Painful, yes, but not a bad deal :) Less of me, more of Him.

We are going to the DR to train pastors for the Book of Hope. We are making the way for distribution to happen in the country of the DR. It is very exciting and I am so happy to be a part of it. After that we go to Colombia where we will be handing out the Book of Hope to students there. MINISTRY!!!! I am so excited! Please be praying for our team: safe travels, effective words, unity within our body. And please, please pray for the hearts of the students we will see. May their hearts be open and ready to receive the truth about God and His love!!!! May they see God's love through us!!!

Thank you for all of your love and support!!! This will probably be the last update until I get back in the States on May 9th. God bless and I will see you all real soon!
